Updated, January 29th, 9:00am---John Tyler Football Coach Ricklan Holmes just told me Bowser has decommitted from Oklahoma State. Bowser, according to Holmes, wants to play college basketball and in fact has an offer right now from Oral Roberts. Bowser would listen to the possibility of playing both football and basketball if a program would offer that option.

Bowser, was recently named the All-Smoaky.com All-East Texas "Defensive Player of the Year."

Bowser finished his senior season with 59-Tackles, 26-Sacks, 2-Caused Fumbles, and he also took some snaps on offense at quarterback.

Bowser joins teammate, Fred Ross as the second commit to Oklahoma State for the Class of 2013. John Tyler has a tremendous history of stars going to Oklahoma State, including current Lions head coach Ricklan Holmes 49ers running back Kendall Hunter, former John Tyler LB Pagitte McGee, and DT Terrance Robinson.

I watched this kid play its hard to believe he could be better at basketball than football, but I wish him the best of luck with whatever he decides to do. I'm sure some College don't mind taken on him for both sports; it normally works out well for the football team. Jermicheal Finley, Kendall Wright, and Martellius Bennett. Just Saying

Don't forget Julius Peppers and Jimmy Graham (only played 1 year of football in college)...

Coach Norman Dale: We're going to use Jimmy as the decoy. Get the ball in and set a pick for Buddy. He's going to take the last shot....(silence) What's the matter with you guys??"Jimmy Chitwood:....I'll make it.

Trying to play both in college is very hard to do. You miss all of the pre season work with basketball, so that puts you way behind. Also it takes awhile to get you shooting stroke. I hope he can handle if that is what he wants to do.
